2. Avoiding damage
Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. The
LED lenses focuses and concentrate light just like magnifying glasses. Strong light can
cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an internal fire
within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1.Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
● Do not expose the front of a fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
● For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of any fixture
is shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
● Avoid pointing other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
Do not pick up or carry the fixture by the front bezel. The LCD display is also fragile.
Picking up or supporting the fixture in these spots could result in damage that is not
covered by the product warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification of the system will void the
product warranty.
Inspect the fixture regularly and clean it if necessary. Clean the fixture only as directed
in this manual. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals commonly used for cleaning can
damage surfaces.
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Transportation and storage
Transport the FP7 either in a flightcase or in its original packaging to protect the fixture
from damage caused by shocks during transportation.
Store the fixture in a dry location when not in use.

4. Features
The Fusion Par FP7 from GLP® is a compact but powerful LED-based strobe/color
mixing effect lighting fixture.
The fixture features an array of 7 x 30 watt RGBW LEDs that produce a powerful beam
with a 6° beam angle.
You can either vary color continuously using RGBW color mixing or select preset colors
on the fixture’s virtual color wheel.
A shutter channel gives variable pulse and strobe effects running at up to 20 Hz, and a
master dimmer channel gives 0-100% continuous dimming. The fixture offers a choice
of four dimming curves and two dimming modes that are optimized for dimming
speed or slow dimming smoothness.
A separate CTO channel is available in DMX Mode 1, letting you quickly adjust the
color temperature of the white light output.
Fixtures can be connected to power and data in daisy-chains, reducing the number of
cable runs required in installations with multiple fixtures.
Besides indoor use in permanent and temporary installations, the FP7’s IP65 rating and
rugged construction mean that it can also be used outdoors in temporary installations
if precautions are taken to prevent immersion in water and damage from direct
sunlight.
Using the Floorstand / Mounting bracket that is supplied with the fixture, the FP7 can be
placed upright on a level surface, fastened to a secure surface in any orientation or
suspended from a suitable structure such as a rigging truss by means of an omega
clamp and rigging clamp (optional accessories).
A spring-loaded latch on the front of the fixture allows quick and easy mounting of
optical accessories.
The FP7 is not suitable for household use, for use in any location where unattended
children have access to it, or for use in permanent outdoor installations.
Virtual color wheel
The FP7’s virtual color wheel effect gives you quick access to a range of 33 LEE-
referenced color presets. You can select a static color or run a dynamic sequence of
regular or random colors.
The virtual color wheel takes priority over RGBW control in DMX Mode 1. If you want to
use RGBW color mixing, set the virtual color wheel channel to zero.
Color temperature presets from a warm tungsten emulation to a very cool 8000 K white
are available on the color wheel DMX channel.
RGBW color mixing
RGBW color mixing gives you complete control of color. In DMX Mode 1, which has
both RGBW color mixing and a virtual color wheel effect, you must set the virtual color
wheel channel to zero before the RGBW channels become active.
RGB color mixing is available in DMX mode 5 which has a DMX footprint of only three
channels.

German Light Products®
Fusion Par FP7 User Manual Rev. A 13
Shutter effect
The FP7’s electronic shutter effect provides ramp up and ramp down effects, a
variable speed strobe with strobe pause effects and instant blackout and full intensity.
Color temperature
Color temperature can be varied continuously from 2700 K to 8000 K on a separate CT
channel in DMX Mode 1.

Securing with a safety cable
If the FP7 can cause injury or damage if it falls,
secure it with a safety cable that is approved for the
weight that it secures and capable of catching the
fixture safely if the primary means of attachment
fails.
To secure the fixture with a safety cable:
See Figure 4. Pass a carabiner hook (arrowed) or
similar means of attachment around the safety
cable attachment point in the fixture housing
above the control panel.
Secure the fixture by adding a safety cable that
is fastened to a secure anchoring point. Remove
as much slack as possible from the safety cable
(by looping more than once around a rigging
truss chord, for example).
Mounting on a rigging truss or similar structure
The Floorstand / Mounting bracket has two
attachment points with a center-to-center distance
of 100 mm / 3.94 ins for the quarter-turn fasteners on
an omega bracket. It also has a hole that accepts
an M10 bolt.
Before installing, check that all mounting
hardware and fasteners are approved for the
weight that they will support and in perfect
condition. Fasteners must be high-tensile steel.
To mount the fixture on a rigging truss, either:
Bolt a rigging clamp to a suitable omega
bracket.
Fasten the omega bracket to the fixture’s
mounting bracket with quarter-turn
fasteners, turning the handles on both
quarter-turn fasteners a full 90° to lock
them.
Fasten the rigging clamp around a truss
chord to mount the fixture on the rigging
truss.
Secure the fixture with a safety cable as
directed above.
Or:
Bolt a rigging clamp to the fixture’s mounting bracket using a high-strength M10
bolt passed through the hole in the center of the mounting bracket yoke (see Din
‘FP7 overview’ on page 11) and self-locking nut.

Fastening to a surface
You can use the Floorstand / Mounting bracket to fasten the FP7 to a suitable secure
surface at any angle.
To mount the FP7 on a surface:
Prepare a suitable hole in the mounting surface, adding a means of anchoring the
fastener such as a screwplug if necessary.
Pass a high-strength M10 bolt or screwbolt through the hole in the center of the
mounting bracket yoke (see D in ‘FP7 overview’ on page 11) and fasten it into the
surface.
Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed on page 15.
Connecting to power
Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety information
that you must understand before you connect the fixture to power.
The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It
must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The autosensing
power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to
power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.
The Fusion FP7 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture as
soon as the power cord / power cable that is connected to the fixture becomes live.
The FP7 has a 3-conductor IP65-rated Neutrik powerCON socket that accepts AC
power from a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 IP65-rated female cable connector.
To connect the fixture to power:
Check that power to the power input cable is shut down.
See Figure 2 on page 11. Connect the power input cable to the MAINS IN socket
by lining up the key (tab) on the cable connector carefully with the keyway (slot) in
the MAINS IN connector, then inserting and twisting the cable connector clockwise
to lock. You should hear a ‘click’ when the connector is locked. Do not force the
cable connector – if it feels excessively stiff, remove it and check that the key and
keyway are correctly lined up.
Do not expose the cable connector to bending forces by letting cable hang from
the connector, for example, as this may affect its ingress protection and allow
water to enter the connection.
To remove the power input connector, pull the locking latch towards you to release it,
then twist the connector counterclockwise and remove it from the socket.
Install the rubber connector seals on any unused connectors.

German Light Products®
Fusion Par FP7 User Manual Rev. A 17
Connecting multiple fixtures to power in a chain
You can connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain to simplify your power circuit
layout.
Warning! The power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 16 A
maximum. Add together the maximum current draw ratings of all the
devices that you intend to connect to power in a daisy chain and do not
create a chain with a total maximum current draw of more than 16 A, or
you will create a risk of fire and electric shock. Respect the following safety limits:
● Do not connect more than six (6) FP7 fixtures to power in a chain at 100-120 V,
60 Hz.
● Do not connect more than twelve (12) FP7 fixtures to power in a chain at 200-240 V,
50 Hz.

No DMX
You can set the fixture to react in three different ways if no DMX signal is present (if the
fixture is being controlled by DMX but the DMX signal stops, or if you apply power to
the fixture when no DMX signal is present):
● Shut off sets the fixture to black out. This is the default setting.
● Hold sets the fixture to continue obeying the last DMX values it received.
If no DMX signal was being received, the fixture will black out.
● Play P1 / P2 / P3 sets the fixture to show the program that has been stored in the
St Alone P Edit menu (see ‘P Edit’ on page 23).
To avoid any possibility of unexpected behavior from a powerful strobe light if the DMX
signal fails, we recommend that you set the fixture to Shut off when you are not running
a stand-alone program.
DMX Live
DMX Live lets you view the current refresh rate of the DMX signal that the fixture is
receiving.
It also lets you see the DMX values that the fixture is receiving for each individual
effect.

D Curve
See Figure 7. You can select from four dimming curves using the control panel or the
Control / Settings DMX channel:
● Linear sets dimming so that it appears to increase and decrease evenly throughout
the dimming range.
● Theatrical (Theat) is an S-shaped curve that gives finer control at low and at high
light levels.
● Square Law (Square) gives finer control at low light levels and coarser control at high
light levels.
